It therefore relied heavily on the commitment of a large number of people to make this review activity effective. The midterm review team would like to express their thanks to all those involved for devoting their time and energies into making this possible. Particular thanks are due to the Regional Development Directors and the Regional Water Engineers and their staff of both regions and the FINNWATER Management Adviser for the tremendous amount of support provided to the team. Throughout the evaluation, government officers and project staff, from national to community level, were very supportive to the review process. A large number of community members gave up their time to discuss water supply project issues with the team and this is gratefully acknowledged. The team would also like to thank FINNIDA for the opportunity to review the project, and for the support provided from Helsinki and Dar es Salaam.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This mid-term review was carried out between 6 and 15 October 1992. As it became clear that FINNIDA would partly or completely withdraw the funding of the project, the objectives of the mid-term review were, next to the assessment of progress, problems and solutions, also directed to the risks of this funds stoppage to the sustainability of the projects achievements. The FINNIDA-supported rural water supply projet in Mtwara and Lindi regions in Southern Tanzania started with a Master Plan Phase in 1972. The implementation phases were characterized by a pure parallel organizational structure. Integration of the project into the MAJI structures started in 1988 (Phase V) but is not yet completed. The FINNIDA support to the rural water supply development in Mtwara and Lindi regions is in its last phase, called the Phasing-Out Phase, 1991-1994. In Phase V the transformation of the project started from a construction-oriented, resource- driven project to a community-based and sustainability- oriented project. It was found that the re-orientation of technical MAJI staff, from construction-oriented providers of services to supporters of village water supply management in a partnership with the village is rather a difficult process which does not come overnight. Progress on this re- orientation is noticed but still limited. The re-orientation was found needed to create an environment and establish an approach facilitating long-term sustainability of rehabilitated and new water supply facilities. The Water Policy approved last year further supported development in this direction. The mission concludes that although some progress has been made at this moment, the development and establishment of an effective partnership between the village, and the district and region is not strongly founded as yet to get a consolidative basis for long-term sustainability. It must be noted that the original project objectives for this Phase were re-directed in the beginning of this Phase. Support to the management of community point source water supplies and to the development of an organizational structure of the Makonde Plateau Water Supply Systems became the foci of the objectives. For Mtwara region the project activities during the first two years of Phase VI (1991 and 1992) were very much influenced by a stoppage on the supply of materials from FINNIDA. The stoppage was due to a ban on the supply of materials and the discussions between FINNIDA and MAJI (national and regional level) on issues related to the local contribution on purchase of materials and equipment through FINNIDA. The resulting lack of materials and spares adversely affected particularly MAJI Mtwara in its progress in the rehabilitation of both shallow wells and piped water supplies. This frustrated MAJI staff in Mtwara very much. Lindi region suffered less from these problems. PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND INSTITUTION BUILDING The integration of the project into the Tanzanian institutions is nearly complete. As most expatriate advisers were stationed in Mtwara with a predominant implementation role more than advisory role, the MAJI staff in Lindi region had somehow to operate more on its own in planning, budgeting, ordering etc. This seems to have had a positive impact on the regional capacity and institutional development. In general there is still room for institutional improvement, particularly in terms of organizational efficiency and abundance of staff at technician level and below. Technical capacities within MAJI are well developed. MAJI staff in Lindi's region and districts recognized increased institutional capacities through improved well-equipped workshops and implementation equipment. Some project components do still run parallel to MAJI including the ordering and distribution of materials. The accounting system of the FINNIDA-component is not very transparent for MAJI, which made planning for new activities somehow difficult. The post of O&M adviser remained vacant as no suitable candidate could be identified. This has adversely affected the further development and establishment of an O&M system for the water supply systems which was indicated as a key activity in Phase VI, and some other O&M-related activities. The training adviser arrived only in August 1991 for a one- year period. Two community participation advisers (CPA) were recruited locally and are stationed in the two regions. At village level the institutional development continued through the establishment of Village Water Committees (VWC), training of village leaders, VWC-members, and Well Caretakers. The effectiveness of these village-based institutions is very unclear as villages miss basic tools for repair of handpumps, spare parts are not available and an O&M system with cost- sharing is not operational as yet. COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION AND COST-SHARING Community participation being a concept with more than only free labour in construction but also recognizing villagers as managers of their water supply facilities started off in 1988.

  • Development and Progress As Historical Phenomena in Tanzania: “Maendeleo? We Had That in the Past”
    Development and Progress as Historical Phenomena in Tanzania: “Maendeleo? We Had That in the Past” Robert M. Ahearne Abstract: Academic discussions of development continue to grow, yet critical engagements with communities affected by development interventions remain limited. Drawing from life history interviews conducted in southern Tanzania, this article details the varied experiences of development interventions among older people and how these affect broader understandings of progress. Many juxtapose their negative views of ujamaa villagization with more positive recollections of previous interventions (especially the Groundnut Scheme), which are infused with what is described here as “development nostalgia.” Perceptions of the past clearly inform the social, political, and economic aspirations forwarded today, with the richness of the constructed narratives adding further nuance to existing depictions of Tanzanian historiography. Much of the academic work on the subject of development tends to focus on the present and the future, despite the fact that experiences from the past are crucial in shaping localized understandings of progress (Crewe & Harrison 1998). Drawing from in-depth fieldwork in southern Tanzania, this article aims to address a point raised twenty years ago by Jonathan Crush: that “we still do not know enough about the global, regional and especially local historical geography of development” (1995:8–9). Conventional histories of Tanzania, and of Tanzanian development, tend to offer teleological versions of the past, reflecting Kelly Askew’s (2006) threefold division of the presocialist, socialist, and postsocialist eras in recent Tanzanian history. Periodizations of history, of course, are “utterly relative constructs, [which] reflect their own sense of the ‘style’ of the historical past” (Toohey 2003:10).
